THE TALKING HEADS

It is the same all over the networks and cable TV, the constant preoccupation with the POTUS and his current issues. The predictions of impeachment to complete exoneration are driven by whom you wish to believe, or worst still, what you want to believe.

It gets so bad that each show brings on the same ‘experts’ and commentators to examine and re-examine until the stomach grows sour the fate of this country and the leadership we have provided ourselves.

There are those that say the news is fake, that it is not fair and balanced, then avoid reporting themselves all the news, there are those who do not present a balanced view from both sides, making things very one-sided and distorted.

‘Fake News’ claims should demand open debate, open forums and balanced representation from all involved.  Avoidance of the issues should be an alarm that there are those who do avoid to protect themselves, rather than having a fair and open forum, that there is something to hide.

If you want to know the facts, examine what you want and why then ask yourselves do you want to hear the other side of the debate? Do you risk in your own world is perhaps wrong or biased? But you need to do this whether you are on the right or left, you need to throw out your party affiliations and take each issue on its merits. I once was a party person and realized I was sacrificing my real feelings to support something I don’t wholeheartedly endorse.
